Methodists and Baptists have many of the same tenets.
Methodists tend to be more open minded and politically active than Baptists.
Baptists believe that baptism is an outward symbol of what has happened internally and has you go through an immersion after you have made a conscious and deliberate acceptance of Jesus as you personal Savior. Thus the name Anabaptist that was shortened to baptist. Baptists in general believe that The Bible is the scripture that should be followed closely. In some instances the members believe that the Bible is without error and that the canonization of the Bible was guided by God himself.
Methodists take a more corporal stand on the responsibility and salvation of an individual. There are things that a church community are encouraged to do to spread God's love and honor. Each individual has a personal salvation but also a church or corporal salvation that requires them to be altruistic. the Bible is a guidebook but not necessarily the final word to the church. In general if a person believes that there are many ways to God then the Methodist church would embrace them but not the baptist.
I'd like to improve on this answer. The United Methodists have little in common with the Southern Baptist Church. Both take opposite views of the Bible. The Baptists strongly believe in the literal interpretation of the Bible, the Methodist do no. The Methodists are a direct offshoot of the Anglican Church with the founder of the Methodist CHurch, Rev John Wesley, having remained a high church priest of the Church of England. The United Methodists have much more in common with the Episcopal/Anglican Church then the Baptists-except in styles of worship. Theologically and liturgically, the Methodists are Anglican. The Baptists do not celebrate the sacraments like the Methodist do. They call Baptism an ordinance but in the Methodist Church they share with other liberal Mainline churches, the celebration of the Eucharist and Holy Communion. The UMC is a connectional denomination; the Baptists are independent , autonomous churches that appoint their own preachers. The Methodist are organized into districts and conferences, with an ordain Bishop being solely responsible for each conference. The UMC ordains deacons and elders. They uphold the belief in the Apostolic Succession-like the RCC and Anglicans. The Baptists obviously don't. The UMC worship in sanctuaries while Baptists call them auditoriums. Baptists are inclined to use little Christian symbology in their place of worship-they don't want to be in anyway "Catholic"-so they have no altars, usually a sole pulpit for preaching, and maybe stain glass windows.
Many UMC are similar in architecture to Lutheran & Episcopal parishes-many are gothic or romanesque in design, with beautiful sanctuary appointments, including a high altar, kneelers for the clergy, altar rails and even sanctuary lamps to represent the presence of Christ! The UMC in the last 100 years, have encouraged their clergy to wear different styles of vestments and to use acolytes in the worship. The Baptists are very informal in their worship and their preachers rarely wear any robes-maybe the choir will. The UMC is found in all states whereas the Southern Baptist Church is concentrated in the border states and southern states. You won't find them in the North west, the Upper Midwest, or for sure in the New England States. The last critical difference is that the United Methodist Church can be described as a moderately liberal church that has a strong progressive history and committment to justice issues and social problems in our country. The UMC has certainly had its share of division especially over sexual orientation. But they are much more tolerant than the Southern Baptists when it come to most if not all social issues. The American Baptists, are far smaller but are much closer to the UMC on issues!
A Methodist church allows anyone to get baptized, regardless of age or mental maturity. They also let anyone take communion. Baptist churches only baptize youth and adults who confess their sins, not to babies. They also only allow those who are baptized to take part in communion.
Mainly their understanding of baptism. Certainly there are some major polity differences. Methodist are episcopal and have a chain of command outside of the local church. Baptists are congregational and so each baptist church runs their own church. Depending on the baptist church there are sometimes difference in belief on free will and predestination.
In Alabama, the top five religions are Christianity (Baptist, Methodist, Catholic), Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, and Buddhism. Christianity is the predominant religion in Alabama, with Protestant denominations like Baptist and Methodist being the largest. Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, and Buddhism have smaller but growing communities in the state.
Christianity, particularly the Protestant denominations, is the most prevalent religion in Mississippi. Specifically, Baptist, Methodist, and Presbyterian denominations are widely practiced throughout the state.
You can have a religion like Christian faiths (Baptist Methodist, Catholic, Jewish, and Protestant). All that matters is that you make an effort to believe in God.
Baptist and Methodist are denominations of Christianity.
The main differences between tradition church and a evangielical church is that the tradition church are happy with the same congregation, the other churches go and invite people to their services.

I was raised Mormon I have attended Baptist church many years. In the last year I have been attending the First Church of the Nazarene. I trusted Christ as my savior many years ago. I do see some differences between Baptist and Nazarene. I believe Christ is my savior, and once saved always saved. So far, I don't see a strong difference between Christian and Methodist.
The key differences between the Apostles' Creed and the Methodist version of the creed lie in the additional statements made by the Methodist version. The Methodist version includes affirmations about the Holy Spirit, the Church, forgiveness of sins, and the resurrection of the body. These additions reflect Methodist beliefs and emphasize certain aspects of Christian faith that are important to the Methodist tradition.
Charles and Cassie are Baptist Dave is Methodist and Kelli is Baptist Chris and Hillary are Baptist
The difference is between truth (Orthodox) and error (Baptists).
The key differences between the First Baptist and Southern Baptist denominations lie in their historical origins and organizational structures. The First Baptist denomination is generally considered to be the oldest Baptist denomination in America, with a focus on individual congregational autonomy and a more traditional approach to worship. On the other hand, the Southern Baptist denomination emerged in the 19th century as a result of regional differences over slavery and has a more centralized organizational structure with a strong emphasis on evangelism and missions.
I was in that situation 25 years ago. Methodist churches do have some that are more evangelical than others. If you can find an evangelical Methodist church, usually smaller than the "First Methodist of the City," then that would be the best of the compromise. Not to step on any toes but my spouse found the baptist churches in our southern town to be too judgmental for her Methodist upbringing. I found the Methodist church acceptable to my divergent beliefs in Bible study and I could still believe as a conservative baptist while still a member in the Methodist church.
Baptist and Methodist are two denomintations of Christianity.
A Methodist church allows anyone to get baptized, regardless of age or mental maturity. They also let anyone take communion. Baptist churches only baptize youth and adults who confess their sins, not to babies. They also only allow those who are baptized to take part in communion.
